Teach viola with the popular Suzuki Viola School. The Suzuki Method® of Talent Education is based on Shinichi Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that people are the product of their environment. According to Shinichi Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the "mother-tongue" approach. Each series of books for a particular instrument in the Suzuki Method is considered a Suzuki music school, such as the Suzuki Viola School. Suzuki lessons are generally given in a private studio setting with additional group lessons. The student listens to the recordings and works with their Suzuki viola teacher to develop their potential as a musician and as a person. This CD of the Suzuki viola method, Volume 7, features recordings by William Preucil accompanied by Doris Preucil.

Why we love this

Preucil's recordings capture the lyrical character and technical demands of Volume 7 with clarity and warmth, giving students a reliable sonic model for repertoire that ranges from baroque suites to Romantic character pieces. His interpretations honor both the musical line and the pedagogical priorities of the Suzuki sequence, making these recordings an essential daily listening resource for young violists working through this level.

What to expect

The journey through this recording moves from the courtly elegance of the d'Hervelois suite to the intimate lyricism of Fauré, with baroque concertos offering technical and musical challenges that feel achievable yet substantial. Preucil's warm, direct sound invites students to aspire toward clarity and musicality in their own playing.

Who it's for

Young violists working through Suzuki Volume 7 with a private teacher who are ready for more substantial solo repertoire and baroque concerto arrangements. This recording supports students who are developing expressive maturity and learning to navigate more complex musical contexts.

How to get the most out of it

Listen to the entire recorded performance before rehearsing each piece with your teacher, then return to specific sections as you work through technical passages.
Pay attention to Preucil's phrasing and vibrato choices in the Handel and Fauré, where expressive control becomes more central to the interpretation.
Notice how the Suite in A Major balances ornamentation with clarity; this recording shows how baroque style serves the melodic line rather than obscuring it.
Use the recorded accompaniments to practice maintaining steady tempo and intonation, especially in the longer concerto movements.

How to use it

Integrate this recording into your student's daily listening routine alongside their studio lesson work; hearing the target repertoire before and after studying it strengthens retention and musical understanding. Several of these pieces, particularly the Handel Concerto and Après un Rêve, can serve as recital material for advancing students, and the recording provides a secure interpretive reference.
